The cup was won by Vale of Leven for a second time after they defeated Glasgow club 3rd Lanark RV 1–0 in the final on 30 March 1878.{{cite web |url=https://www.scottishfa.co.uk/scottish-cup-matches/?mid=91680 |title=Scottish Cup Matches |publisher=Scottish Football Association |access-date=22 April 2019}}
